My controversial? Invinicble take on Eve's dad

Eve's dad is actually agood dad and I don't understand the hate. He rejects the money because he doesn't want to use her and he knows greed can spiral, why stop at rent, why not a new nouse, new car, why not become the richest in the world? At that point hed be using his daughter, he wants to have her around because shes her not her powers and him rejecting the gold his way of showing that he wont ever use her for her powers. Also he doesn't want her putting her life at risk for strangers, what good parent would want their kid going out there getting injured/dying fot others. Latest episode he didn't try to stop eve, he recognizes when the world is actually at risk and she is needed.

Is he supposed to just let her use her op powers willy nilly? Let her be owned by hre government on a superhero team so he can die for others. Man just wants her to have a normal life where she can use her powers for herself and stay safe, while shes out here not even using a mask going by her real name. He has to go to the extreme since she goes to extremes in the opposite direction. He balances her out and is why she is well rounded.

Obviously hes not perfect, but mans firt kid died at childbirth before it was replaced with another with super powers that has likely been a constant source of stress/worry since she was a child. He just wants her to outlive him.

While I certainly see where you're coming from, I disagree as well. At certain points in the series he outright rejects to his daughter using her powers at all. When Eve moves back in she makes concessions to not use her powers in the house to appease him. While I do think every parent would worry about their kids being involved in super hero stuff, I mean look at Mark's mom, Eve's Dad treats her like shit for just having powers and being weird. As Eve said in the show she just wants them to accept her for who she is, and the powers are a part of that. Think about the time she moved off into the woods and did more stuff for the environment and communities. It was a lot less dangerous than stuff she had done before and her parents didn't seem to be any more approving of her life style.

No, he is not a good father.
Your entire post is about what he wants for his daughter, not about what she wants. She's an adult woman, not his property. Saying things like "let" her use his power, "let" her be owned, etc. indicates a mindset of control and undermining her autonomy.
Look at his impact on her, not his intentions.
Caring about his daughter is not the same as being a good father, and enabling his behavior is not the same as being a good wife. But both of her parents have shown small indications that they can evolve.
ETA: Not sure why you replied four times to my comment, but I'm talking about his actions right now. I'm not talking about the past.
- This kid was flying out her window to fight crime at like 12 or younger? Naw shit him being a good father is being controlling, she doesnt listen normally
- My point is she doesn't get to have agency when it comes to giving up her life for others when shes a teenager or younger, and obviously he has to push in that direction or shell just go and die as shown in episode 8
  
  Cecil wouldve sent others in, they wouldve sacrificed like 10 heroes but conquest wouldve been taken down, since eve was there he didnt have to, teleports are instant
- Yeah a teenager wants to go die for others obviously he should control his teenage daughter and not let her do that, she didnt grow out of her tendencies as she ages she still rushes to extremes and causes issues, his impact has been positive she literally is who she is because of him, without him shed have created more faulty structures since no one wouldve been stopping her in the first place.
